Mushroom Nov 2023 9:22pm, 13 Nov 2023 2,882 posts	Quote Pin Mushroom [ There was a story a week or two ago about how people hadn't started buying Christmas stuff because the weather was still mild. I went in Sainsbury's last week and their Christmas shelves were all positioned near the door with the banners 'It's never too early'.
